Some orderborne characters come from the law. Whether sheriff or deputy, these individuals are often seen as the most powerful members of their town. Though these officers are usually in the pocket of rich essentia mine moguls, if not fully on the payroll, they're often the most prepared to protect civilians in times of danger.
In Wyllin's Gulch there are sheriffs, but they're paid to protect the mines and manufacturing rather than uphold any version of "justice." In Havalaugh there is no sheriff at all — though anyone who harms a citizen is never heard from again.
Syndicate rogues often operate as deputies, mining operation overseers, or members of outlaw posses. Though any of these groups might work publicly, it takes a master of charm and negotiation, as well as clandestine activity, to accomplish the organization's more covert goals.
